I have a boat. I'm not in the market to buy, nor is the person I'm asking for at this time...

I'm looking for information about which boats provide a nice wake shape prior to weighting for up to around 15K-ish. Wouldn't matter if V or D drive (V preferred), and would probably be weighted at some point. Not looking at particular years or makes because of the variables involved in pricing, just some ideas to point in the right direction......

soooo just to clarify a few points here....
you are:
1. not looking to buy a boat
2. asking the question for someone else who also isn't looking to buy a boat
3. Not interested in a make of a boat
4. not interested in the year of a boat
5. don't care if its direct or v drive
and lastly want to get steered in a proper direction?

Heres my take:
1. get interested in buying a boat.
2. get whoever the question is for, interested in buying a boat.
3. whatever you do buy a tige or you'll make a lot of people really unhappy.
4. find the oldest boat you can for the most money, the older tiges really hold up well fyi
5. direct drive is the only way to go. bonus points for closed bow as it will open lots of doors for weighting options
6. just remember with enough lead weight any boat can touch bottom.

LOL, I know..what a pointless post... at least LIE and say you are interested in looking for a boat to get more posts and feedback...

Clubjoe has been around a while. He's a problem solver in real life and I've seen him help try to solve problems in some messed up threads on here in the past. There are a million good reasons he could have for asking his questions. Perhaps, for one, families' kids are growing up where the boat needs are not going to be so much for surfing for the adults but returning to wake roots for the kids.
